Endomychus, Fabricius. 



The genus Endomychus I am inclined to arrange 

 next to the Coccinellidae ; its larvae greatly re- 

 sembling them, little is known of their habits, 

 excepting that they are found under the bark of 

 decayed trees. It is a matter of doubt in my mind 

 if Lycoperdina is at all related to Endomychus, 

 although they agree in form, and have been asso- 

 ciated in the same family. In concluding the first 

 volume of the Systema Eleutheratorum, I have 

 only to add that the next Fasciculus will terminate 

 the Manual, when I shall enter more fully into the 

 merits and demerits of Fabricius as a Systematist 

 and an Entomologist.
